PHP - How To Reset A Contact Form

Hello, I have coded a contact form in PHP and I want to know, if according to you, it is secure! I am new in PHP, so I want some feedback from you.

Moreover, I have also two problems based on the contact form. It is a bit complicated to explain, thus, I will break each of my problem one by one.

FIRST:The first thing I want to know, is if my contact form secure according to you:

The HTML with the PHP codes:

Code: [Select]
<?php
if ($_SERVER['REQUEST_METHOD'] == 'POST') {

//Assigning variables to elements
$first = htmlentities($_POST['first']);
$last = htmlentities($_POST['last']);
$sub = htmlentities($_POST['subject']);
$email = htmlentities($_POST['email']);
$web = htmlentities($_POST['website']);
$heard = htmlentities($_POST['heard']);
$comment = htmlentities($_POST['message']);
$cap = htmlentities($_POST['captcha']);

//Declaring the email address with body content
$to = 'alithebestofall2010@gmail.com';
$body ="First name: '$first' \n\n Last name: '$last' \n\n Subject: '$sub' \n\n Email: '$email' \n\n Website: '$web' \n\n Heard from us: '$heard' \n\n Comments: '$comment'";

//Validate the forms
if (empty($first) || empty($last) || empty($sub) || empty($email) || empty($comment) || empty($cap)) {
echo '<p class="error">Required fields must be filled!</p>';
header ('refresh= 3; url= index.php');
return false;

} 
elseif (filter_var($first, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT) || filter_var($last, FILTER_VALIDATE_INT)) {
echo '<p class="error">You cannot enter a number as either the first or last name!</p>';
return false;
} 
elseif (!filter_var($email, FILTER_VALIDATE_EMAIL)) {
echo '<p class="error">Incorrect email address!</p>';
return false;
}
elseif (!($cap === '12')){
echo '<p class="error">Invalid captcha, try again!</p>';
return false;
}
else {
mail ($to, $sub, $body);
echo '<p class="success">Thank you for contacting us!</p>';
}
}
?>
<form action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF'];?>" method="post">
<p>Your first name: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="first" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Paul"/></p>

<p>Your last name: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="last" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Smith"/></p>

<p>Subject: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="subject" size="40" placeholder="Ex: Contact"/></p>

<p>Your email address: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><input type="text" name="email" size="40" placeholder="Ex: example@xxx.com"/></p>

<p>Website:</p>
<p><input type="text" name="website" size="40" placeholder="Ex: http//:google.com"/></p>

<p>Where you have heard us?: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><select name="heard">
<option>Internet</option>
<option>Newspapers</option>
<option>Friends or relatives</option>
<option>Others</option>
</select></p>

<p>Your message: <span class="required">*</span></p>
<p><textarea cols="75" rows="20" name="message"></textarea></p>

<p>Are you human? Sum this please: 5 + 7 = ?: <span class="required">*</span></p></p>
<p><input type="text" name="captcha" size="10"/></p>

<p><input type="submit" name="submit" value="Send" class="button"/>
<input type="reset" value="Reset" class="button"/></p>
</form>

SECOND PROBLEM:If a user has made a mistake, he gets the error message so that he can correct! However, when a mistake in the form occurs, all the data the user has entered are disappeared! I want the data to keep appearing so that the user does not start over again to fill the form.

THIRD: When the erro message is displayed to notify the user that he made a mistake when submitting the form, the message is displaying on the top of the page. I want it to appear below each respective field. How to do that? In JQuery it is simple, but in PHP, I am confusing!

I have read around and can't seem to find the right coding for what I need on this forum and some other other forums.

I have a contact form (as listed below) and I need 2 locations (Print Name and Title) fields to auto-populate on a separate form (can be a doc, pdf, etc. any form of document which is easiest) and this form can be totally back end and the individual using the form never is going to see the form.

It's going on a contract form, that we would like to auto-populate.

Also is there a simple attachment code so individuals can attach documents to the code?

A while ago I purchased a website template which included a contact form, and a PHP script to process the form. I cannot find the contact form so I'm trying to figure out how to code it on my own, or find a similar one to put in it's place.

The PHP file is located he http://warp.nazwa.pl/dc/innovation/php/contact/sendMessage.php

The form itself is on this page: http://warp.nazwa.pl/dc/innovation/contact.html

Here is the code from the JScript file.

Code: [Select]
// alias to jQuery library, function noConflict release control of the $ variable
// to whichever library first implemented it
var $j = jQuery.noConflict();
// if true the send button is blocked
var g_blockSendButton = false;

Can anyone help me figure out how to do this by any chance?

Hi,   I recently bought a HTML template and it came with a contact form which work fines.   The only issue I have is that when the email arrives it only shows the persons first name, not their surname unless the name is kept as one e.g.. Adam-Smith   I can't see why this is and has been bugging me for the past couple of days!   Any ideas?  
$email_to = "contact@website";
$name = $_POST["user-name"];
$email = $_POST["user-email"];
$message = $_POST["user-message"];
$text = "Name: $name

Email: $email

Message: $message";
$headers = "MIME-Version: 1.0" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "Content-type:text/html; charset=utf-8" . "\r\n";
$headers .= "From: <$name>" . "\r\n";
mail($email_to, "Contact", $text, $headers);
?>     Thanks

Hi all, I am currenlty coding up PHP validation for a contact form and as I know barely any PHP i have been following tutorials and copying code.

I have a series of checkboxes which emails out the various products that the user wants.

It all works now except that it does not re-direct to a thank you page now and outputs this error at the top of the page.

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home2/xxxxxxxx/public_html/client/contact.php on line 17

Below is the code for the PHP and form, any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you!

Code: [Select]

<?php
if (isset($_POST['submit']))
{
        $myemail = 'my@email.com';//<-----Put Your email address here.
        $title = 'Quote';
        $name = $_POST['name'];
        $company = $_POST['company'];
        $house = $_POST['house'];
        $street = $_POST['street'];
        $postcode = $_POST['postcode'];
        $daynum = $_POST['daynum'];
        $evenum = $_POST['evenum'];
        $email = $_POST['email'];
        $how = $_POST['how'];
        $information = $_POST['information'];
        
        foreach($_POST['product'] as $value) {

hello All,

Thank you EVERYONE for all of your help... it was much appreciated.

I have created a form that does the following:

(1) Connects to the database that created.
(2) Inserts the users data into the database
(3) Displays a thank you you page after a successful form submission
(4) Send an e-mail to me with all the users details

I NOW need to be able to send a Custom html page to the end users e-mail with all their data... a Confirmation e-mail for their reference.

Is there some special PHP  Code that can HANDLE such a task? If so please tell me how might be able to integrate this in my existing code.


thanks

Hello All,

I need some VERY DETAILED direction from anyone who can tell me how to complete this task.

I set up my database "riptide" in Php MyAdmin for the following data to be submitted by user.
Also a " form.php " form with the following fields.

Salutation: Mr. Mrs. Ms. Miss. Dr. Prof. (radio buttons) input name="salutation" type="radio" value="Mr." checked
First Name: (text input field) input name="first_Name"
Last Name: (text input field) input name="last_Name" 
E-mail: (text input field) input name="email"
Zip Code: (text input field) input name="zip_code"
Would you like to receive our email newsletter? Yes No (radio buttons) input type="radio" name="newsletter" value="yes" id="newsletter_0" checked
 
Okay here is my dilemma... I need to make web form that will do the following:

(1) Connects to my database
(2) INSERTS the form data filled out from my user into my MySQL database.
(3) I need an email that will be sent to both me and the user who filled out the web form
(4) A Thank you page "displaying" all the details the user filled out in the web form.
(5) Plus all fields are required and need " validation " especially the e-mail address.

I made a page called "process_form. php" that will handle all of this once the submit button is clicked.
How do I make this happen?


Thanks in advance
James

HELLO EVERYONE

I HAVE A HTML FORM ON A HTML PAGE FOR USE AS A FEEDBACK FORM.
I WANT TO WRITE THE USER-ENTERED DETAILS INTO A MYSQL DATABASE
I AM USING A WEB HOSING SERVICE WHO HAVE TOLD ME THAT TO CONNECT TO THE DATABASE I NEED TO USE PDO (PHP DATABASE OBJECT).
HERE IS MY PRESENT PHP CODING TO DO THIS TASK AS OF DATE:
 

<?php

if(isset($_POST['email'])) {

function died($error) {

// your error code can go here

echo "We are very sorry, but there were error(s) found with the form you submitted. ";

echo "These errors appear below.<br /><br />";

echo $error."<br /><br />";

echo "Please go back and fix these errors.<br /><br />";

die();

}

// validation expected data exists

if(!isset($_POST['firstname']) ||

!isset($_POST['lastname']) ||

!isset($_POST['email']) ||

!isset($_POST['telephone']) ||

!isset($_POST['bustype']) ||

!isset($_POST['description'])) {

died('We are sorry, but there appears to be a problem with the form you submitted.');

}

$firstname = $_POST['firstname']; // required

$lastname = $_POST['lastname']; // required

$email = $_POST['email']; // required

$telephone = $_POST['telephone']; // not required

$bustype = $_POST['bustype']; // required

$description = $_POST['description']; // required

$con = new PDO("mysql:host=mysql.hostinger.in;dbname=databasename",'username', 'password');

$query = "INSERT INTO `databasename` (`id`, `firstname`, `lastname`, `bustype`, `email`, `telephone`, `description`, `timestamp`,) VALUES (NULL, '$firstname', '$lastname', '$bustype', '$email', '$telephone', '$description', CURRENT_TIMESTAMP,)";

$q = $con->prepare($query);
$q->execute(array(':$firstname' => $_POST['firstname'], ':$lastname' => $_POST['lastname'], ':$bustype' => $_POST['bustype'], ':$email' => $_POST['email'],':$telephone' => $_POST['telephone'], ':$description' => $_POST['description'], ));

echo "<h2>Thank you for filling in our contact. We shall get back to you as soon as possible.</h2>";
$con = null;

?>

Hello All,

I've successfully figure out how to make a form that connects to My Database, INSERTS the END USERS INFO into my database, and THEN sends a email notification back to the ME that contains the the END USERS INFO.

Is there a line of CODE in PHP to use that I can ALSO send the END USERS INFO from the form THEY FILLED OUT with all their details that was sent back to ME in the initial e-mail?


Also how do I get the date and time to post in the in my e-mail received with from the END USERS containing the date and time of the form filled out. It shows up in my Database HOWEVER, not in my RECEIVED e-mail.

MOD EDIT: code tags added.

Hello All,

I made an external "Thank you.html" page that I want to show immediately after the " Send Your Info"  button on my "request_more_info.php " form is clicked. This MUST stay external always. I want this to be called in somehow by php. So is there some php code I can use to accomplish this?

Also is there some php code I can use to validate my entire form and ESPECIALLY the e-mail address portion on my form? If so could you tell me who do i apply it to my "request_more_info.php "

Salutation: (radio buttons)
First Name: (input field)
Last Name: (input field)
Address: (input field)
City: (input field)
State: (select option)
Zip: (input field)
Country: (select option)
Email: (input field)
Our Newsletter: (radio buttons)


thanks
MrJAP1

I want it to go to this link, and instead it's just writing the link
what is the right command/code that should i use?



<?
$subject="from ".$_GET['fName'];
$headers= "From: ".$_GET['fEmail']."\n";
$headers.='Content-type: text/html; charset=UTF-8' . "\r\n";

Hello,   I need a contact form with fields:   Name: Email: Phone: Message:   I have html contact form but when a visitor clicks on submit button then a pop up says thnq for contacting us and he need to be on the same page. the details has to get in mail to me.

Hi everyone, i was trying to create a little script for my blog but cant do that.

What i want is this model with dropdown options: http://www.pasidedans.ro/inscrie-te-acum

I want to replace my entire cod so i dont want to modify him..

Can you help me to create a contact form like this ? thanks !

I have a little problem with my contact form, basically atm I need to paste this code on every page before the HTML tags:

Code: [Select]
<?php
//If the form is submitted
if(isset($_POST['submit'])) {

//Check to make sure that the name field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['contactname']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$name = trim($_POST['contactname']);
}

//Check to make sure that the subject field is not empty
if(trim($_POST['subject']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$subject = trim($_POST['subject']);
}

//Check to make sure sure that a valid email address is submitted
if(trim($_POST['email']) == '')  {
$hasError = true;
} else if (!eregi("^[A-Z0-9._%-]+@[A-Z0-9._%-]+\.[A-Z]{2,4}$", trim($_POST['email']))) {
$hasError = true;
} else {
$email = trim($_POST['email']);
}

//Check to make sure comments were entered
if(trim($_POST['message']) == '') {
$hasError = true;
} else {
if(function_exists('stripslashes')) {
$comments = stripslashes(trim($_POST['message']));
} else {
$comments = trim($_POST['message']);
}
}

//If there is no error, send the email
if(!isset($hasError)) {
$emailTo = 'tekdz@tekdz.com'; //Put your own email address here
$body = "Name: $name \n\nEmail: $email \n\nSubject: $subject \n\nComments:\n $comments";
$headers = 'From: My Site <'.$emailTo.'>' . "\r\n" . 'Reply-To: ' . $email;

mail($emailTo, $subject, $body, $headers);
$emailSent = true;
}
}
?>
And this is the code for the contact form:

Code: [Select]
<div id="contact-wrapper">

<?php if(isset($hasError)) { //If errors are found ?>
<p class="error">Please check if you've filled all the fields with valid information. Thank you.</p>
<?php } ?>

<?php if(isset($emailSent) && $emailSent == true) { //If email is sent ?>
<p><b>Email Successfully Sent!</b></p>
<p>Thank you <strong><?php echo $name;?></strong> for getting in contact with us! Your email was successfully sent and we will be in touch with you soon.</p>
<?php } ?>

<form method="post" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" id="contactform">
<div>
    <label for="name"><strong>Name:</strong></label>
<input type="text" size="50" name="contactname" id="contactname" value="" class="required" />
</div>

<div>
<label for="email"><strong>Email:</strong></label>
<input type="text" size="50" name="email" id="email" value="" class="required email" />
</div>

<div>
<label for="subject"><strong>Phone Number:</strong></label>
<input type="text" size="50" name="subject" id="subject" value="" class="required" />
</div>

<div>
<label for="message"><strong>Message:</strong></label>
<textarea rows="5" cols="50" name="message" id="message" class="required"></textarea>
</div>
    <input type="submit" value="Send Message" name="submit" class="submit" />
</form>
</div>
My question is would it be possible to have the php code that goes before html tags in its own file? So I don't have to manually paste that onto each page with the contact form?

Any help will be appreciated, thanks

Hi all, firstly thank you in advance to anyone who replies to this thread. I'll be honest I'm a newbie when I comes to PHP and really am a long way to mastering it. If someone could have a look at my code and tell me where I'm going wrong here then it would be a great help.   The problem here is, when I click on the submit button it sends me to the PHP script page and doesn't actually send a email to the address.    Please Help and again, thank you in advance.   Below is the HTML,   <section>
